Megane's Law: 2010 Renault Megane Leaked @ km77.com

[Turbio!]

No data yet, but comment away on the styling. Personally? I think it's weird. Big ol' schnozz and that wierd upkick above the front fender - looks front-heavy.

[Lawl Master]

Damn ugly, looks about 3,200 lbs too.

[volksman]

Lets hope to see it as a Nissan in the US soon. I like it.

Ohhhh, Wimbledon won't be pleased... you bitin' his gig.

[CP2]

I think it looks about a lot better than the old one... overall - a big improvement.

And with tasteless allusions to child predator legislation and funny chops, all for the same low price my competitor charges!

[Wimbledon]

I really like the styling. The new Megane looks sophisticated, modern, and unique.

Those frenchies really need to quit what they are smoking. They are getting uglier by the day, I would ever consider a Citroen, I would then test drive one and laugh at myself for ever considering it.
I have no idea how any of the French Auto Companies are so successful.

So this is what my science professors did on days off?

Man, now I don't feel so bad about not doing the reading they assigned.

What's really interesting is the STEPPED HOODS that car styling must endure today with the pedestrian collision regulation (i.e. That step height required to raise the gap between hood and engine... to act as a... impact space of sorts.).

Every car company will have fun trying to design around it such that they don't all look the same/similar.

Hey, I'm doing SAS runs too, I can multitask.

i saw the current generation in racing form at the nurburgring this weekend. it was the world series by renault.
i admit the styling does grow on you. the new generation has made the rear end less protruding. it looks subtle. it kind of looks like my mazda3 from the side.

[Saintor]

Beautiful profile. Bad front-end.

[Entwerfer des Audis]

I like it better than the current one, but French styling [with respect to cars, at least] has never exactly been my cup of tea [or cappuccino?], the Citroën DS being the exception.

[OOOO-A3]

I totally love it.

[JayB]

It reminds me of an Infiniti EX 35 and that car still offends me appearance wise. Each new gen just gets worse for me so I'll have to chalk it up to growing old/er and start looking for my Crown Victoria.

[Ben010783]

I think it looks great. They should throw on a Nissan badge and bring it here.

[christurismohk]

there will be a coupe version too :

I can't wait for the new R26.R variant.

[Billy Mays]

sweet maybe we can get a redesign of the XR4Ti!!!

that would be sick.

[vwlarry]

Lots of things to like about it, but one thing bugs me, and that is the unnatural way the sculpture along the belt/midsection makes rises up-and-over the wheel opening. It's not as bad as a first-generation Hyundai Santa Fe in its clumsiness, but it's close. It sullies an otherwise fairly decent-looking car, IMO.

Top-edge of Santa Fe's fenderline goes uphill at the A-pillar for no good reason except to make the car look dopey:

That was a tragic Hyundai design 'language' in the 90s. It didn't look too bad in their various concepts with their 50" wheels, but when production came around... the fender accentuation was just an attrocity. Remember the Tiburon's fenders? Uggggh.

Never quite saw the appeal of haunches on a front whee drive car.

[vwpiloto]

I like it except for that curve over the front fenders. That kills it for me. I'm surprised to see them going away from the vertical rear glass. That was a very unique element that really distinguished their car. The new one looks a bit less unique as compared to it's competition than the previous one.

[dubjager]

The old one is so much better looking, especially the sport.

Although this is really starting to grow on me:

I liked the old rear end better.

[J-Tim]

Congratulations, Renault. Now you made your Megane look like every other family hatchback on the market.

I still think the current Megane looks great and distinctive no matter what haters say.

[crazy88]

not bad

[VR6boi65]

I'd hit it. Twice.

[Swallow Doretti]

Hot. And it looks like it'd fit in Nissan's line-up quite nicely, if they wanted to sell it here...

[Lima]

More pics now revealed...

[Tourenwagen]

didnt even like the first megane

[bolider]

I like it. Not spectacular, but nice looking.
